Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have finished the underwriting reviews of mortgages they acquired prior to their takeover by the federal government in 2008 and have now recovered more than $18 billion in restitution for breaches of selling representations and warranties, according to a new progress report from the Federal Housing Finance Agency. The GSE regulator notes that Fannie and Freddie have each executed multiple risk-sharing transactions, beating their mandated goal of $30 billion. The two also have achieved the Conservator Scorecard Objective of gradually reducing the less-liquid portions of their retained portfolios, according to the Finance Agencys report.
